yea got me too when i tried to type B S together, lol. honestly i dont remember him ever getting it redone or being blued but it could of been. also im really looking for just a nice shine at a budget price. lol i know they dont really go hand in hand but i am on a budget. so i hoping the Electroless Nickel might be able to be done since it is 100 bucks cheaper then just nickel, reason i asked what the difference was earlier question. thanks for the info and help guys
It is a really nice looking pistol. Robar has a brief note about their Electroless Nickel finish (

I would do the Robar NP3. It's not shiny like nickel, but rather a pretty light gray. It's also very slick where you can wipe off residue with little to no solvents.
